Deansgate station main entrance closed for several days for essential repairs

Passengers arriving or departing from the station will need to do so via the Deansgate-Castlefield platforms until Monday February 24. The train operator, Northern says the main entrance has been closed while essential repairs are made to the station roof.

Deansgate railway station, which serves over 1.3 million people every year, is connected to Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink station via a footbridge over Whitworth Street West.

Craig Harrop, regional director for Northern, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, which is unavoidable while these repairs are made to the station roof.

“The station remains fully accessible, with stairs and lifts available to all platforms – although people should allow a little extra time to catch their train as they familiarise themselves with the temporary pedestrian route.”
